Tho approach of spring makes tho subject
of houscc.ennlng a most promlnont one. The
gontlo housowlfa who has been comfortably
nestled beside n cheorfull ftro all wlntor nnd
njoyod tho comfort and onso of n luxurious
home, almost shudders at tho thought of pro-
paring for tho usual houso cleaning duties.
Everything must lo attended to and to havo
things tlono right tho femalo head of tho
family, with an old house wrap, must needs
personally BUorinteud tho work and arrange
ments. And tho poor "drowntroddon hubby."
After his day's work, hard toiling behind the
counter or at tho desk comes to his meal to
find that that suppor Is not ready, tho homo
all torn up and life onco again did not pre
sent tho cnviablo appouranco it does beforo
tho wreck. Some husbands aro loss fortun
ate than others, consequently tho unlucky
dear oft time is called upon to glvo n helping
hand at moving littlo things about tho houso,
such as pianos, stoves otc. Of coutsohodoos
not objoct to handling a stovepipo or putting
it up, but tho expression of his countennuce
gives plain evidence that no does not relish
such enjoyment and wore his mind allowed
to play in audible totios giving 8eech to what
it thought, I opluo that tho air would bo rath
er hazy around tho spot where ho stands, os
ixxdnlly so, when joining plcs nnd getting
lingers caught in the collision. Yen verily,
married Ufa under such circumstances Is not
exactly as tho poot describes it.
It behoves our lovers of sport and outing to
Ik) astir and to look up tho matter of Hold
sport for the coming summer, which by the
way is closo at hand. Asyetnodecislvemovo
has been mado as to any iummer amusement
and it certainly is high timo that something
bo done To livo through another such sum
mor as last would certainly prove a mouotous
exlstauce. There was practically nothing at
all to interest the ooplo and from present
prospects tho same, order or things will again
prevail tho coming season. Lincoln certainly
is now largu enough to support n good ball
team and I (Irmly bcllovo that with proer
efforts Nebraska's capital city can yet put a
club In tho field that will do honor to tho city
and furnish a high order of entertainment for
our lovers of the national game. Lincoln is
much larger now than when we had tho club
two years ago and undoubtedly a team this
year would meet with good success, esKolalIy
so slnco Llncolnltes havo observed that lis
neighbors in Omaha, 8t. Joseph, etc,, wrro
all enjoying the sirart, while we, without nny
outdoor nmuseir.otit whatever had to bo con
tent to sit at home nnd read tho news. I am
informed that with proper clfort we can gain
admission to one of tho leagues, but it will
take hard work and n concerted will. Let tho
good work go on and glvo us something to
livo for in Lincoln this summer.
A very pithy nnd interesting Washington

wo present Dr. Tnlmage's last sermon, which
in giving Americans a few sound suggestions,
will meet with approval of every sonsiblo
reader. So many requests havo been mado ou
us ot late to publish that beautiful comiMjsl
tion "Tho Russian National Hymn," that we
present It in our music department today
This piece has liven made famous throughout
America by Ollmores military band, who has
played it everywhere for several years ust
and always received immense enchores. As
this n short pkco and not wishing to glvo our
musical friends less than the usual quota, we
publish two pieces the second being a beauti
ful I'olka by (hilbarrtx entitled "Tendresso."
Aside from the features above mentioned tho

we would like them, give nil tho news In that

I am lu nceipt of the third annunl report
of chief of the Lincoln flro department and
ilro waideii. In it arc bomo Interesting sta
tistics of the work done by tho department
during lBhtS, It also furnishes a vast amoiiut
of readable matter xi tabling to tho buildings
erected lust ycur, number of flies and tho
causes, shownlug the most serious ones, etc.
It cites the Oakly dry goods fire us tho largest
of tho your, being n loss of $05,600 mostly
covered by insurance. Next largest was A.
U. lturr's newly completed homo fS.iMJS and
two other fires where the loss exceeded $ 1(00.
Tho department responded to b4 lire alarms
during the year, out nf which six were false,
inuklig a total of 78 fires for 1BS8, which is
certainly u good showing for the. city. In
tho columns of "cause ot fins" theiu uie 15
unknown and tho largest iiuiuWr of fires
causes being ascertained 7 neiu by children
playing with matches. Total gross loss for
the twelve mouths was $4i,!i'.!5, Insurance on
same $'J45l!k'0, leaving the net loss by flro
only $01, 'J75, which for n city the size of Lin
coln is doing very well. Most of the alarms
wero given at night, 1W being answered be
tween U ii. m. uud (1 p. in., whllo -111 were bo-
twoen 0 p. in. nnd 0 n. in. Tho building per
mits Issued show an encouraging state of af
fairs, 481 being tho number given during tho
year. Tho aggregate cost of samo footing up
$1,401,420. Out of this number there witsono
each valued at $175,000; $05,000 and (00,000;
two at $50,000; flvo above $40,000; n doreu
between $20,000 and $40,000 nnd a Urgo num
ber below that amount, a great many liolng
homes costing $3,000. Tho book Is a very in
teresting ono throughout nnd much genuine
and pleasant now is learned from its (uiges.
.
How about our tenuis clubs Tho tlmo for
organizing Is nbout nt hand nnd ns there Is no
moro charming out door oxerciso, it seems
nbout the right tlmo to orgnnlzo now for tho
summer. Last yenr tho sport lieeamo n very
iwputnr one beforo the closo of tho season and
promise to bo equally well thought of this
summer. It is ono of tho fow outdoor games
that Indies may join tho gentlemen In enjoy
ing nnd being n refined and elevated enter

that appreciated all hu done for them.
Strange to say his suprt differs but littlo
from that ho had with him a year ago and
tho company Is the same strong ono ho usually
curries. A carload of magnificent scenery
and cnlculm lights render tho play u scenic
as well as a dramatic success. Tho great
ocean scene, tho exterior of tho Chateau D'lf,
Is truly a great ono nnd when Dautes baffles

"THE llUMNI! l'AHHIO.N"
The first production Is this city of this

cust Is a long ono some twenty well known
pertvons being seen in it headed by lottlo
Church who lias lllled tho title lolo since thu

this being its llrst season out. The story of
the play is that of n good girl who is riupori

confined lu a mad house and shamefully nlnu
